What does that have to do with Trump accepting hundreds of millions of dollars in what is essentially a kickback payment?

Nothing bad ever happens without Trump being involved.  Knowing him, he probably organised the payment to Payman.
A Muslim Payman - you see the name, you know Trump is in there somewhere. It's so obvious. UAE, Afghanistan, money, Trump. Same same.

Yeah and they probably think Trump runs the US and its national security or something.

It's corrupt when you try to hide it like Jo and hunter.

Trump brags about it.
Business deals with the Saudis, golf courses in Vietnam,  jumbos from Qatar.

Trump is entrepreneurial,  not corrupt.
He should be studied , not vilified

Except that Hunter Biden didn't hide anything, nor was he found to have done anything wrong when investigated.

Trump's colossal act of corruption, which one ?

selling off pardons or giving AI chips to Saudi in exchange for a  few billion into this sons fake crypto coin?

Oh, the trump watch was a small theft, but simple and stupid right wing americans fell for it

Straight out criminal activity.

Not surprising, seeing as Trump is a career criminal with 34 convictions.

You really have to ask at what point do Republicans in Congress say "enough is enough" and seek to have Trump removed or simply stop enabling him and his corrupt cabinet? What will have to happen for Republicans in Congress to reach that point? Based on what they've helped him do thus far, I'd say it would have to be something astonishing.

They'll never reach that point.

They're all just waiting for him to die.

None of them have the balls to do anything.

And even if they did, they'd probably end up like Epstein.

Nothing corrupts as incorruptible.

(don't mention the war)
'Independent experts have estimated that corruption in Russia can consume as much as 25% to 33% of the country's GDP. In 2009, the InDem Foundation estimated that bribes amounted to $318 billion per year, which was one-third of the GDP at that time'.

He's called 'Put in' for a reason.

Forget the sheikhs, Armchair. DL's already agreed to bypass the middleman and sell US chips direct.

Yes, forget all that Biden chip manufacturing and US technological supremacy, DL went with his friends at Nvidia to do a quick side hustle and sell the lot to the Chows direct.

So that's that. We will make America great again, no?

Just so. Sleepy Joe hid that $12,000 loan repayment from his brother.

Thanks, it helps to tell me when I'm on target.

'. Russia consistently ranks low on global corruption indices, with Transparency International assigning it a low score of 22/100 and a ranking of 154th out of 180 countries in the 2024 Corruption Perceptions Index. '
